School management software Pakistan

School software for admissions, fees, diary, payroll and morning–evening shifts

The same work the office already does every day — students, challans, classes, attendance, staff salaries and school expenses — in one place. Read the list, or jump from the menu on the left.

What the school can run

The office menu, explained in plain words

Follow the list top to bottom. Every plan includes the full product — you choose a student cap on pricing.

  1. 01

    School dashboard

    See the school in one glance

    Open the day with collection, students, attendance and what still needs attention — without waiting for someone to compile a sheet.

    • Today’s collection and outstanding fees
    • Active students and who was present
    • A starting point for the rest of the office

    Next: Admissions

  2. 02

    Admissions and students

    Admit a student once. Keep the file for the whole school life.

    New admissions, family details, class and fee plan sit on one student record. The office does not retype the same child into a fee book, an attendance register and a WhatsApp list.

    • Enquiries before admission
    • Manage students — admission, family, class and section
    • Generate challan — monthly fee slips from the current plan
    • Pay or print — collect fees and print from one student row
    • Day wise — see cash collected on a given day
    • Paid challans — a clear list of what has already been received

    Next: Classes

  3. 03

    Classes and sections

    Nursery to the senior classes, with sections that match the school

    Set up classes, sections and subjects the way the school already talks about them. Move a student to the next class without opening a new file.

    • Classes, sections and subjects in one place
    • Teachers assigned to the classes they teach
    • Promotion keeps the same student on the new class

    Next: Diary

  4. 04

    Class diary

    Homework and class notes against the class that was taught

    Teachers write diary notes for their class — homework, classwork and remarks — instead of a paper diary that never reaches the office. Notes stay inside the school; they are not a parent messaging app.

    • Diary by class and section
    • Teachers record the day’s work in one place
    • The office can see what was written, without collecting notebooks

    Next: Employees

  5. 05

    Staff records

    Teachers and office staff on one list

    Keep names, roles and who is active in the school. Attendance, diary and payroll use the same staff record — not a separate Excel for salaries.

    • Teaching and non-teaching staff
    • Active and left employees without losing history
    • The same names used for attendance and salary

    Next: Attendance

  6. 06

    Student attendance

    Mark a class present or absent in minutes

    Teachers mark the class they are standing in. The office can see who was away without collecting a paper register at the end of the day.

    • Mark attendance by class
    • See absentees without a second register
    • Teachers do not need the fee ledger to mark a class

    Next: Shifts

  7. 07

    Morning and evening shifts

    Morning shift and evening shift, each with its own clock

    Many schools run a morning sitting and an evening sitting. Set each shift’s start time, end time and weekly offs so attendance follows the hours the school actually runs — not a single 8-to-2 assumption.

    • Morning shift timings
    • Evening shift timings
    • Weekly offs for each shift

    Next: Payroll

  8. 08

    Staff payroll

    Prepare salaries from the staff you already keep

    Salary plans, monthly slips and payments sit with the employee record. The office is not copying names from an attendance sheet into a payroll workbook every month.

    • Salary plans for staff
    • Generate monthly salary slips
    • Record what has been paid

    Next: Salary report

  9. 09

    Salary reports

    See what was paid, and what is still due

    A salary report for the month — not a formula sheet that breaks when someone inserts a row. Owners and accounts can review payroll without opening every slip.

    • Month-wise salary view
    • Paid and pending at a glance
    • Built from the same payroll the office already entered

    Next: Fees

  10. 10

    Fee structure

    Tuition, admission and the heads your school actually charges

    Set fee heads and class structures once. Monthly challans follow that plan, including part payments when a parent cannot clear the full amount.

    • Fee heads the school already uses
    • Class-wise fee structure
    • Part payments against the remaining balance

    Next: Expenses

  11. 11

    School expenses

    Utilities, supplies and the money that leaves the school

    Record day-to-day school expenses next to fees and salaries, so accounts is not keeping a side cash book for everything except tuition.

    • Category, vendor and amount
    • A running list the office can review
    • Fees in, expenses out — in the same product

    Next: Exams

  12. 12

    Exams and report cards

    Papers, marks and report cards in one flow

    Create exams, add papers, enter marks, keep grade masters and print report cards — without a separate spreadsheet for each term.

    • Exam setup with papers and max marks
    • Marks entry by class
    • Grade masters and report cards

    Next: Library

  13. 13

    School library

    Catalogue, issue and overdue returns

    Keep the book list by category, issue copies to students with due dates, and see what is still out.

    • Book catalogue with copies and categories
    • Issue and return with due dates
    • Overdue loans highlighted for follow-up

    Next: Accounts

  14. 14

    School accounts

    Ledger work the accounts desk already understands

    Chart of accounts, vouchers, ledger, trial balance, profit and loss, balance sheet and cheques — next to fees and expenses.

    • Chart of accounts and manual vouchers
    • Ledger, trial balance, P&L and balance sheet
    • Cheque register with clear / cancel

    Next: SMS

  15. 15

    School SMS

    Templates and fee reminders from the office

    Connect a gateway, keep templates, send a test, and schedule unpaid-fee reminders without a separate messaging tool.

    • SMS gateway and templates
    • Test messages before you rely on them
    • Fee reminder schedule for unpaid months
